Ashwini Gods

Encyclopedia : A : AS : ASH : Ashwini Gods


The Ashwini Gods in Hinduism are twin Devas who are exceptionally beautiful, skilled and attractive.

In the epic Mahabharata, Pandu's second wife Madri asks the Ashwini Gods for a child. As they are twins, so Madri bears twin brothers, the youngest of the Pandavas, Nakula and Sahadeva. They are the extension of the Ashwini twins, extremely beautiful and attractive, and skilled warriors.
